Poor Mieksie is crook for the first time. She has an ear, nose and throat infection and as a result is pretty miserable. I'm pretty angry though. Apparently there are no doctors in Ballarat taking on new patients. I have been a patient at Ballarat Group Practice for 20 years, but they refuse to take Mieksie, because she is a new patient. So today we had to go to MedicAid. One of those sit around and wait places that are full of super bugs, no doubt. The trick is, you can't make telephone bookings. So I had to bundle a very miserable girl into the car, find a park, traipse halfway across Ballarat to be told I had been placed on the list and the best idea was to go home for 2 hours and then come back again. Once we got back, we then had a further 40 minute wait.
I am so angry about Ballarat selling itself as a great regional city to "downshift" to, but then can't provide me with the basic infrastructure I need!!!! Think I might forward this one on to the city CEO.
Anyway, Mieksie is doped to the eyeballs, anti decongestant, penicillin and panadol. She is taking small amounts of milk, but no solids. Poor baby....
